Book Description
“Chris Seay is one of my favorite people. He’s a shepherd at heart. His insights on culture always take me into a better understanding of the world we live in. I’m grateful for him in so many ways.” —Don Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz An epic journey into the deepest mysteries of faith Lost is not just a television show. It has become much larger than that, growing into a complex, mystery-filled epic that has garnered over twenty-three million participants. Some might call these people viewers, but you don’t just watch Lost—you participate in it. It demands that you dialogue with the story, seeking theories, discussing with friends, and comparing yourself to the characters. Lost has broken all the formulas for television, and in doing so has drawn together millions of people on a shared journey that explores life, faith, history, science, philosophy, hope, and the basic questions of what it means to be human. It’s the seemingly infinite ideas, philosophies, and biblical metaphors that draw us in and leave us wanting more. The Gospel According to Lost explores each of these elements in an analysis of faith and metaphor—a perfect resource for those who want to go even deeper into the journey. Inside, you’ll discover what Lost has to say about The clash between faith and reas0n, on the island and in real life; The struggle with guilt that consumes each character—and sometimes us too; The dichotomy between fatalism and fate, and what the Bible advises; How being lost—on an island or in society—presents an opportunity for reinvention that liberates some and paralyzes others.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Churches are not immune to violence, as we have seen from shootings at houses of worship across the nation. The challenge for faith communities is how to respond to potential violence. Whom Shall I Fear? asks congregational leaders to examine whether their operational and security policies are consistent with gospel values. It raises common themes in approaches to church security and looks at them in the light of scripture. Whom Shall I Fear? provides thought-provoking reflections on topics such as locked doors, living faithfully in an unfaithful world, the question of armed security in a church setting, and the duty of Christians to extend hospitality to their neighbor. It includes stories from survivors of gun violence and wisdom on how churches can work to transform an anxious and fear-driven world. Whom Shall I Fear? helps the church thoughtfully wrestle with what it means to be a church of grace, welcome, and love when confronted with acts of cruelty, division, and hate.

Pages : 100
Book Description
For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life (John 3:16). THE GOSPEL OF JOHN is the Bible’s most beautiful portrait of true love. Where other Gospel writers prove the validity of Jesus’ claims through His lineage and fulfilled prophecy, John calls us to see the embodiment of love. When you enter into this magnificent story, you will find that His love is irrefutable proof that Jesus is the King who came to free all people. Chris Seay has beautifully retold the Gospel of John with fascinating first-person commentary from John’s perspective, revealing the voice of God as clearly as it was heard in John’s own time. Chris Seay is a pastor, internationally acclaimed speaker, and president of Ecclesia Bible Society. He is the author of several books including The Gospel According to Tony Soprano, The Gospel Reloaded (with Greg Garrett), Faith of My Fathers, and The Last Eyewitness: The Final Week.

Miracles in Mark

Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 162189536X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
The Gospel of Mark has long been regarded as "The Gospel of Action." It contains more miracles and supernatural phenomena than Matthew, Luke, or John. In fact, a third of Mark's Gospel is centered on the miraculous deeds of Jesus. Mark is clearly more concerned with what Jesus did than with what He said. From the vision that Jesus experienced at His baptism to the supernatural events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection, Dr. Spell will take the reader on a journey of exploration through the pages of Mark's Gospel. The miracles of Jesus are as profoundly important for us today as they were for those who experienced them. This study will help to guide readers in finding insights for their own lives.
